The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge could have been thinking about having children as early as their wedding day, it emerged.
\nThe couple decided to save the top tier of their magnificent eight-tiered wedding cake – a tradition usually undertaken by couples who plan to serve the cake at the christening of their first born.
\nThe pair put the top two tiers of the cake away and tucked into the third as they celebrated their marriage with friends and family, royal wedding cake designer Fiona Cairns said.
\nMs Cairns said: \u2018As is tradition, the Duke and Duchess have kept the top two tiers. The third tier was cut up and served at the wedding together with the extra fruit cake we supplied.\u2019
\nMiranda Eason, editor of You & Your Wedding magazine, added: \u2018Saving the top tier to celebrate the birth of the first born is the tradition.
\n\u2018But couples are also saving it for their first anniversary to crack open with a bottle of bubbly.\u2019
\nThe confectionery masterpiece, covered in cream and white icing and decorated with up to 900 delicate sugar-paste flowers, is going on display at Buckingham Palace as part of an exhibition dedicated to the royal nuptials.
\nThe top three tiers have been recreated, with new cakes made.
\nA team of eight people worked for five weeks to make the cake, which compromises 17 individual cakes and weighs more than 70 kilograms.
\nThe Duke and Duchess, who are both fans of fruitcakes, cut the cake with a sword – the mark where they made the incision is visible in the display.
\nMs Cairns said that being commissioned to make the cake was \u2018wonderful but a little bit scary\u2019.
\n\u2018The cake is more or less covered in flowers,\u2019 she said.
\n\u2018The Duchess drew up a list from the language of flowers, all of them have meanings of special significance to her.
\n\u2018We were told by the Duchess that lily of the valley was particularly important, it means sweetness and humility, they were used in her bouquet, the dress, on top of the cake and fresh ones were in the Abbey.\u2019
\nThe bride gave Ms Cairns detailed instructions for her to include 17 different blooms and foliage for their meaning or symbolism including the four flowers of the home nations – English rose, Scottish thistle, Welsh daffodil and Irish shamrock.
\nMs Cairns, who lives in Leicestershire where her factory is based, said the cake was a \u2018very rich, dark traditional fruitcake\u2019.<\/p>\n
